FRIDAY RECAP: NOV. 19, 2021

It’s disturbing looking at America right now. But looking away won’t solve problems. This week’s Daily Actions began with a hard look at the Republicans ramping up their campaign of hate and violence, from the floor of the House to school board meeting rooms. Their goal is to push good people out and take their place. We are fighting for a better country, and part of that fight this week was pushing our Members of Congress to stand firm on the Build Back Better’s programs for children and families, including affordable child care, universal preK, a child tax credit, and paid leave. And then, in the chaos, we stopped to look at the fat defense budget rushing through Congress and we called for specific changes. Keep informed. The antidote to despair is activism.

Today’s the day to catch up on our calls. No matter how many you made this week, commit to calling once more. 

• If you called every day, pick your favorite script and call again

• If not, use the script from a day you didn’t call

• If you’re really dedicated, use the other scripts to call this weekend

Here are great topics from which to choose:

Nov. 16: THE FASCIST REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN OF INTIMIDATION IS WORKING — Indivisible Oregon

Nov. 17: Invest in Families and the Economy — Indivisible Oregon

Nov. 18: CURB AMERICAN MILITARISM AND DEFENSE SPENDING — Indivisible Oregon

So, pick up your phone, click on your chosen link, and do your part to transform our country so it works for everyone. And keep calling until the infrastructure and voting rights bills pass Congress!
